Clinical leads from University Hospitals Plymouth have taken their first look at the new Community Diagnostic Centre at Colin Campbell Court. Teams from Phlebotomy, Audiology, Imaging, and Physiological Measurement visited the site to review their future workspaces at the state-of-the-art development which has reached the major milestone of becoming watertight.
During the visit, staff provided expert insight on room layouts, patient flow, and how to ensure the new centre supports efficient working and a positive patient experience from arrival to appointment.
Lead Cardiologist Vicky Church said: ““The new Diagnostic Centre looks absolutely fantastic. It’s going to be brilliant to have all of the diagnostic tests available in the same space for patients.”
The Community Diagnostic Centre will provide a wide range of vital diagnostic tests, scans, and checks including CT, MRI scans, X-rays and ultrasounds in a convenient community-based setting. By offering these services outside of Derriford Hospital, the centre will help patients receive faster diagnoses closer to home, reducing waiting times and supporting earlier treatment.
Located in Plymouth’s city centre, the new facility will operate seven days a week. Benefiting from strong transport links and ample nearby parking, it will provide convenient and accessible services for people across the city and the wider region.
Once complete, the facility will play a crucial role in improving access to diagnostic services and delivering better patient outcomes.
Construction of the facility began in March 2025 and is due to open Summer 2026.
